I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

Please reply to this post with your first name and the Village in which you live. I am curious how far flung our members are in the Villages. If you are a guest, but have never registered, please register and post a reply to this fun thread. :welcome:

My name is Jan (male) and I live in Chatham.

Gene & Barbara - we currently live in Goodyear, AZ, but don't hold that against us....we're moving to Florida's Friendliest Hometown as soon as we sell in AZ. It's 113 degrees today. I do have to admit, though, that with a humidity of only 6 percent it's not as bad as it sounds. In fact, I played a set of tennis doubles this morning followed by a short practice of softball. Have visited The Villages many times and looking forward to viewing the newest recreation center and the soon to be built 3rd Town Square. Don't forget just how fortunate you folks are to live where you do. Take care.

Hi! I am Helen and my husband Gary and I live next door at Spruce Creek South. We love the Villages and rented a villa there for 3 months before buying here. We just happened into a great deal at the time here and made a decision. We partronize your restaurants, movie theaters, Town Squares, and have also met some great lasting friends in the Villages. We have also introduced many friends from our home state of Michigan into staying in the Villages in the winter.
Have a great day!

Absolutely no regrets. My friends in St. Louis thought I'd gone off my rocker when I told them I was moving to Fla, but most of them think Florida is high-rise million-dollar condos along the beach, so they didn't (don't) understand.

I've made more and better friends here in my two-plus years than I ever really did in my 42-plus years in the same house up north. Yes, there are undoubtedly cliques, but there are so many activities, clubs, like-minded people that you can always find compatible folks.

There are 16 homes with 29 people on my cul-de-sac. We get together every first Friday and have a great time. The entire street gets along very well, and I have three neighbors who vie to take care of The Cat when I travel (which is fairly often).

I suppose I should note that I do NOT play any of the games that consume folks here, so I'm a bit "off the wall," perhaps, but that certainly hasn't been a detriment to my enjoyment of the place. Sure, it helps that my brother lives near by (not in The Villages) and his friends (they live at an airpark and everyone has a hangar bigger than the house) provide a wonderful change from the frequent conversations about golf - I only have to listen to conversations about their flying activities!

Hope you're coming soon and that you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Steve

Hi My husband Ron and myself (Beth) moved here Sept 06. We grew up in Lockport, NY. I worked for GM/Delphi for 30 years, Ron worked in home remodeling. We now live in the Village of Silver Lake and really love it. We have met so many wonderful people and there is something to do for everyone here. In May of last year I had never heard of this place before, we visited Memorial Day Week-end week and went home owners of a house in the Villages. Anyone considering that move just come visit and you will be greatly pleased with what you see!!!

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

We live in Winifred. When we came there were about 35,000 people. We knew it would be growing and predictions are 100,000 by 2011. Right now I think there is probably 60,000 or so. We can tell the difference with the way some people act. You will always have a few bad apples in the bunch; a few bad drivers, both with cars and golfcarts. A few grumpy people, but just remind them where they live and that should straighten them out. A gentle reminder to you newer retirees. You use to have to scurry here and there when you were working, but now you can take all the time in the world. Just relax and enjoy your surroundings when in the grocery line or at the gas pump. Smile at the bank teller as you wait in line. Think of your children or grandchildren when waiting for your food at any of the wonderful restrurants you can visit. Breath the wonderful Florida night air as you watch the linedancers at the squares. Fall into bed exhausted but happy for another wonderful day in The Villages and say "Thank you Lord".

I'm Melva (&George) looking in from Indiana. I'd like to ask what the pet rules or restrictions are. Are the costs of buying, and living, in the Villages pretty close to what you were told to expect? Everything's crazy in Indiana. Any more Hoosiers there?

Hi Everyone
Nettie & Dave from upstate NY.....have a new home in Sable Chase. Will be moving down in September after spending a few months in our new home there over the winter!! Excited about moving down (but finding it hard to leave family behind)
See you all soon

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

We moved to our new home in Mallory Square in October, 2006 after selling our family home on Chicago's North Shore. Our plan was to spend from mid-September until late May in The Villages, going north to our summer home in southwest Michigan for the summer months. We did that this year, but we've already agreed that in 2008, we won't leave The Villages until maybe July 4, returning in mid-September.

In future years, who knows? Maybe we'll just do a "European one-month vacation" at our summer home. The kids better get ready to take it over.

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

Mallory Square - Bought our home in February. Sharing time now between NY and TV. Will move in permanently when we sell our home in upstate NY (Ulster County). Hope it is sooner rather than later. Real Estate Market is very slow up north. Love The Villages.
